Since campaign conversions are not really something worth a thread dedicated purely to a single one, I'm making this one to post any campaigns I properly go over and convert to BAT standard. This post will be updated as I complete any new projects.

Shadow of the Sun: One of PhilK's excellent campaign packs flying for the IJAAF over Okinawa with either a Ki-61-I Hei or a Ki-84 Ko. The campaigns are unplayable in BAT without modification, since the Okinawa map retexture that they use has since been renamed, even though it is in BAT. This is presented as a "patch" to the base campaigns, install them first, then apply the fixed .mis files.
In addition to ensuring the map name is correct, I've also taken the liberty of changing out a few aircraft that were used as hacks in exchange for the proper versions of them now available in BAT, and "dressing up" the airfield scenery by putting the skins provided for the campaign on the corresponding static aircraft to make the scene look nicer. The mission dates have also been changed to match the briefings.
